West Fjords, Iceland Part I

Heading towards the West Fjords of Iceland marks the last leg of our roadtrip around Iceland before we head back to the Reykjavik. This part of Iceland is not often on the radar for tourists being somewhat out of the way. The roads are often known to be a bit rough and difficult (Again our 4WD came in super handy!). Thankfully most of the roads we drove on were pretty well maintained main roads. The roads, towns and sights in this part of Iceland was noticeably quieter. Definitely for travellers who want a road less travelled.

Hvitserkur Rock Formation, Iceland

Hviserkur

Hvitserkur rock formation is also known as the troll of the northwest of Iceland. We stopped by this famous rock formation on our way to the small town of Laugarbakki. It was a very windy morning when I was trying to do long exposures of the rock formation so it was hard to take a stable shot from the viewing platform. The one above turned out pretty well. As the tides were quite low, we climbed / walked down to the shore and tried to photograph it from the ground level as well.

Icelandic Farmhouses in northern Iceland

Icelandic Farmhouses

As we headed towards the Westfjords of Iceland, stopped by a popular tourist stop, Glaumbaer Museum, where were were several well maintained farmhouses on display. These grass-roofed farmhouses represented the way of life of the Icelandic settlements in Skagafjordur a long time ago. I really enjoyed photographing the quaint colourful buildings.

A Long Weekend in Melbourne

Lune, Melbourne

A few weeks ago, I took a Friday off to have a long weekend in Melbourne. It was an awesome weekend of eating and catching up with old friends. Food photography was actually one of the genres I got into when I first picked up a DSLR many many years ago. Melbourne is well known for it’s food and drink culture. So I was not short on opportunities to take photographs of food! In this blog post, I’m sharing some of my favourite photos from my weekend in Melbourne. All my photos were taking with the nimble Fujifilm X-T10 and the 27mm f2.8 pancake lens.

On the road in Iceland

These are some one my “on the road” photos around Iceland after leaving Akureyrarkirja. The Icelandic landscape is truly unique. The golden/green rolling mountains, long open roads and ever changing skyscape makes for some pretty awesome on the road shots. I’m glad we decided to go for a Toyota Landcruiser to take us around the island. It served us well through very rocky roads and questionable weather conditions!
